L'industrie de la cryptographie intensifie la lutte politique : près de 70 % des fonds du rival de « l'antagoniste » Waters proviennent du secteur des cryptomonnaies

Mars Finance reports that on April 18, according to foreign media, California Democratic Representative Maxine Waters is the “thorn in the side” of Congress Hill’s cryptocurrency scene. As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, she has consistently supported strengthening cryptocurrency regulation to consolidate her authority. Meanwhile, Waters’ opponent, nonprofit executive Myla Rahman, has about 69% of her campaign funds coming from the crypto industry, sparking market concerns about “cryptocurrency capital involvement in politics.” Data shows that since announcing her candidacy in February, Rahman has raised approximately $14,500, with the largest single donation of $6,600 from Brad Garlinghouse. Additionally, executives from the Solana Policy Institute have also provided support. As one of the most hardline Democrats advocating for crypto regulation in Congress, Waters has long pushed for increased industry oversight; if the Democrats win the midterm elections, she is expected to become Chair of the Financial Services Committee. Analysts believe this potential change is prompting the crypto industry to preemptively deploy political resources in an attempt to influence future regulatory frameworks. Currently, the crypto industry is pushing for legislation of the “Clarity Act” to seek a more relaxed regulatory environment, but the bill faces strong opposition from traditional banking systems, which fear it could trigger deposit shifts to the crypto market. Notably, despite her pro-regulation stance, Waters has also received political donations from Chris Larsen, indicating that crypto capital is engaging in multi-channel strategies across both parties and different regulatory positions.
